FOR THE PIE CRUST CHIPS:
preheat oven to 350°F
lay out dough onto parchment lined cookie sheet.
cut dough with a shap knife in half and then into strips as shown.
arrange strips so they are not touching.
using a pastry brush, brush with melted butter.
sprinkle colored sugar crystals over the strips.
bake for about 10 minutes or until golden.
remove from oven and let cool completely.
HINT: u can make your own dough, add food coloring to dough for a more festive look. and u can use plain granulated sugar instead of colored sprinkles.
HINT: use cookie cutter instead of strips for different shapes to match your occasion!
FOR THE DIP:
in a bowl cream together cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
add butter.
blend in apple filling.
chill for 2 hours or serve immedietly. choice is yours.
ASSEMBLY:
place dip into a serving bowl surrounded by pie crust chips. or side by side. serve! :)
MORE HINTS: if u want to use apple pie filling cut the apples into small bite sized pieces.. and lower butter to half. u may also use less cream cheese if needed. u can do half the amount. make sure the pie crust chips are completely cooled before using them for dipping or they won't be crisspy enough.
